§ 40. Mr. HINDSasked the Home Secretary the terms under which the premises now occupied by the Welsh Church Commissioners are held, together with the rent, rates, taxes, etc., payable in respect of the same?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThe premises now occupied by the Welsh Church Commissioners are held under a 21 years' lease as from 29th September, 1922, but determinable at the end of five, seven, 10 or 14 years. The annual rent is £275 a year, and the rates for the last half-year were £81 7s. 1d. As the Commissioners pointed out in their eighth annual Report, the new premises afford them accommodation more adequate in extent and more suitable in character than their Victoria Street premises, and at an appreciably less annual cost.
